Henergy Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I've got the stand as I've not got an Eglu. Its great - very handy so I move the food around their area out of the sun, rain etc. Can't advise about the super glug though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witzend Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I've got 2 ! I wanted one for each of the G&Gs in my soon-to-be-built WIR. and I wanted to put them against the walls rather than at 90 degrees ..............one stand fits 1 G on each side (diff heights)..............and also be able to move them around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squiffs Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 that was my next option but refuse to pay an 0845 number!!! whenever omlet have called me the number has been 01295 750094, and if you google 'saynoto0870' and type the 0845 number in on that site, you'll find the landline the prem rate number is attached to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I have a stand and am delighted with it It is just so easy to pick up and take indoors at night. I can't see why it wouldn't fit a superglug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mum-2-olly Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 quick question, can the hens drink from the TOP ONLY of the old style superglug with the drinking nipples? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migsy Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Why don't people use cheap gravity feeders and drinkers? I think they are great as you can get really big ones so that you don't need to fill them up quite so often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are great as you can get really big ones so that you don't need to fill them up quite so often. I take mine in of an evening because I don't want to attract unwanted garden visitors - I struggle removing and carrying a near full glug in, which i imagine could last a fairly long time, so size isn't necessarily the issue, the grub could hold a lot of food too - but again I don't see the point in filling it up when it's going to be brought in and out nightly - they come with the eglu, so why not use them?

englishrose Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I was drawn to the title ~ 'just treated myself!' and thought that I would announce the same! I have just ordered a fried egg egglu and I'm over the moon... I have bought this for my 2 girls, Maisy Brown and Tiny and boy do I love these 2. I wanted a really warm little home for them for the winter and I have searched for the last 2 weeks for something a little special and came across the fried egglu, what could be more fitting for 2 super ex-batt girlies. Love to all the girls. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
englishrose Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Oops, I forgot to mention that my special girls were homed from the BHWT collection at Great Totham on Sunday 5th June. It's amazing how far they have come in such a short space of time. I'm just watching Chicken Run as I type, so with tissues to hand I'm signing off. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just suggesting an alternative as if you don't use the Eglu run, there is a problem about hanging the grub and glug up and the stand is expensive.

I was just suggesting an alternative as if you don't use the Eglu run, there is a problem about hanging the grub and glug up and the stand is expensive. true! however, i filled my glug up to full capacity today because of the heat, so instead of hooking it on the bars i've sat it on the bark chippings, if i need to move it into the shade it's much easier to manoeuvre around if i don't have to unhook it, on the right sort of ground it can be freestanding (bark chippings for example where it can nestle down into them).

mum-2-olly Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 im not going to make life hard for myself, i like to put treats in the bars so they have to work for them a bit, im not changing my set up for someone else because they cant keep their hands and feet to themselves like a child!!!!! we only have a front garden but do have a high fence around it so even if you walk past you cant really see the hens, no trouble so far and my girls are so quiet they dont attract unnecessary attention wither thank goodness. i think the only answer is to electrify the gate! maybe i shouldnt have started this thread! its making me madder and madder!
